-In many online [[video game]]s (especially [[MMORPG]]s and [[real-time strategy]] games, for instance, [[StarCraft]]),<ref name="test">{{cite web|url=http://classic.battle.net/scc/terran/tspecial.shtml |title=Terran Special Abilities |publisher=Classic.battle.net |date= |accessdate=2011-07-12}}</ref> the term '''nuke''' can describe a [[Magic (gaming)|spell]] or [[Skill (role-playing games)|skill]] that is capable of dealing a large amount of damage to its target, which is frequently a [[Military unit|unit]]. Also in the context of video games, '''“nuking”''' may also describe the act of using a [[nuclear weapon]] in the game. The term is notably dissimilar in different genres.

-In an MMORPG, the term may{{Vague|date=July 2011}} differ in meaning between communities.<ref name="Carless2005">{{cite book|author=Simon Carless|title=Gaming hacks|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=zrqz84QUuSEC&pg=PA113|accessdate=26 April 2013|year=2005|publisher=O'Reilly Media, Inc.|isbn=978-0-596-00714-0|pages=113–}}</ref> For example, to some individuals, to “nuke” is to deal the most possible damage to the most enemies possible (almost exclusively by means of an [[area of effect]] skill), whereas other individuals use the term to refer to dealing the highest possible damage to a single target in the shortest amount of time, also known as a [[Spike (computer gaming)|spike]]. Some individuals believe that the player or players nuking must do so by means of ranged combat (that is, out of [[melee]] range); others make no such distinction. It can also mean to critical hit often or just to deal high standard damage. Also, the Tactical Nuke, dubbed by gamers as the "nuke", occurs when a gamer reaches 25 straight kills on [[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2]].
-In a [[real-time strategy|real-time]] or [[turn-based]] strategy game, the term "nuke" has one distinct use. It can describe the tactic of attacking an opponent’s specific (often high-priority) units with high-damage spells in order to kill them or force (or strongly encourage) the opposing player to remove them from battle. Such usage is commonly in [[Warcraft III]], in which "Heroes" are frequently the targets and attackers due to their relative high priority and common faculty for high-damaging spells.
